Introduced in 1989, the BM 70 from KROHNE was the first 10 GHz FMCW radar transmitter for level measurement in process tanks available on the market. The 2-wire OPTIWAVE series that followed in 2004 featured specific options for liquid and solid applications e.g. OPTIWAVE 6300 with its unique Drop antenna design for measuring solids.
With the OPTIWAVE 1010 (6 GHz), the OPTIWAVE 5200 (10 GHz) and now the new OPTIWAVE series of 24 and 80 GHz radars, KROHNE offers the appropriate frequency for each application. The new OPTIWAVE 5400 / 6400 / 7400 (24 GHz) and OPTIWAVE 3500 / 6500 / 7500 (80 GHz) radars are each designed for specific industry needs. The level measurement instruments improve KROHNE’s portfolio for reliable and accurate level measurement of liquids and solids, even in most difficult applications.
OPTIWAVE 5200 (10 GHz)
for liquids in storage and process applications
The OPTIWAVE 5200 C/F is available as compact or, for installations at the tank bottom, as remote transmitter.
OPTIWAVE 5400 (24 GHz)
for liquids in basic process applications
Designed for basic liquid applications, this market-entry FMCW radar level transmitter provides accurate readings in closed tanks, in the open air like rivers or dams, and even in fast moving processes.
OPTIWAVE 7400 (24 GHz)
for agitated and corrosive liquids
Designed for liquids in harsh environment such as tanks with agitators containing corrosives or in non-Ex applications up to +700 °C; +1292 °F.
OPTIWAVE 7500 (80 GHz)
for liquids in narrow tanks with internal obstructions
The small beam angle and negligible dead zone of this FMCW radar level transmitter makes it the premium choice for liquids in small and narrow tanks with internal obstructions like agitators or heating coils, as well as tanks with long nozzles.
OPTIWAVE 3500 (80 GHz)
for liquids with hygienic requirements
This FMCW radar level transmitter for hygienic liquid applications is CIP/SIP suitable and offers a wide range of hygienic process connections.
OPTIWAVE 6400 (24 GHz)
for solids from granulates to rocks
By combining high signal dynamics and FMCW radar technology, this market-entry radar device accurately and reliably measures the level of solids such as stone, plastic granulates or coffee beans.
OPTIWAVE 6500 (80 GHz)
for powders and dusty atmosphere
Accurate continuous level measurement of fine powders has to deal with a series of issues like dust, low-reflective media, build-up and uneven surfaces.
SURGEPROTECT SP-F
Surge protection directly at the measuring head
SURGEPROTECT SP-F / EX(I)-24DC and SP-F / 1X2-24DC are surge protective devices for all common standard signals that are directly attached to any sensor head via their connecting threads.
